Parliamentary elections were held in Norway in 1844. As political parties were not officially established until 1884, all those elected were independents. The number of seats in the Storting was increased from 100 to 102.

Results

Of the 102 seats, 44 were won by civil servants, 42 by farmers, sheriffs, church singers and teachers and 16 by people with other professions.
